The City recent announced an extension of time to pay property taxes. Payments post marked by January 15, 2025 will be considered on time. The City’s official release follows below.
In an effort to provide relief and flexibility to taxpayers, the City of Shreveport is waiving interest on the 2024 ad valorem property tax notices for 15 days. Although the statutory due date remains December 31, 2024, taxpayers now will not accrue any interest or penalties until January 15, 2025.
Payments postmarked by January 15, 2025, will be considered on time, ensuring that no penalties or additional fees will be assessed. The fifteen-day period complies with state law, which allows taxpayers fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt of notice to pay without interest penalty. The city will assume that statements were received on December 31, 2024.
“This temporary waiver gives our residents a little more time to meet their obligations,” said Mayor Arceneaux. “We want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to stay current on their taxes while managing other end-of-year responsibilities.”
Taxpayers can make payments online at www.shreveportla.gov/288/Proterty-Tax-Information, by mail, or in person at Government Plaza. For questions or concerns, please contact the City of Shreveport Revenue Department at 318-673-5585.
